Eastern Cape Premier, Mrs Nosimo Balindlela will on Friday, 20 June 2008 attend the first Provincial Customer Care Indaba of government in Mdantsane. The Indaba has been preceded by a week long government services campaign which has seen MECs and government officials delivering tangible services in the East London area.

Thousands of residents in parts of Mdantsane have benefited from an abundance of government services which have been brought to their communities by the provincial government. The proactive approach is in response to the Premier’s State of the Province call, for innovative ways of implementing extra-ordinary solutions to accelerate service delivery in the province.

The objectives of the Indaba are:
to strengthen partnerships between government customer care and organised business to share best practises on customer care
to reinforce partnerships with municipalities and national departments to revive the implementation of Batho Pele in the public service
to find innovative ways to make government services and information accessible to the most remote areas of the province and
to build sustainable and mutual beneficial partnerships with civil society organisation and organised business for service delivery excellence.

The Indaba will take place as follows:
Venue: Mdantsane Indoor Sports Centre
Date: 20 June 2008
Time: 8h00

A media briefing will be held on 20 June 2008 at 9h00 to afford members of the media an opportunity to interact with the Premier and other leaders of government about the Indaba.
